Umm ... RIGHT dragging. LEFT dragging is (relatively) easy if a down-move-up is 
classed as a drag (and not a normal mouse move). I dunno about you but under PC 
Windows I right drag in Explorer all the time (to get the drag context menu).

Where you move the mouse to a position (such as a link or icon) but don't click on it. 
If tapping 2 times is a right click then how do you double click? Double rightclick? 
And like you said, you still need another button (alt in this case) to do a right 
drag. What about a shift-rightclick (which you sometimes DO need to do)?

... and the screen-side mouse lets you do everything!

Heh I guess thats a way of putting it ...
